We all love Gary, and I have no doubt he will be all kinds of awesome, but Alec Guinness' Smiley was seminal and whenever I read the books, is was the face I pictured in my mind. Oldman will have his work cut out to get close. Still, what a cast, great director, the footage looks amazing and I can't wait for it to come out! About bloody time says I. Now we just need the spy genre to be rediscovered and someone to come along and make films of Len Deighton's Game Set Match series. And then the next 6 after that

Yeah, that's real fine expensive gear you brought out here, Mr. Hooper.'Course I don't know what that bastard shark's gonna do with it-might eat it I suppose. Seen one eat a rockin' chair one time. Hey chieffy, next time you just ask me which line to pull

I will be honest, never read the book nor seen the BBC version. But just looking at the comments alone, something tells me this is going to be one serious Brit movie. And with that cast line up, you'd be mad not to want to see it. After all, there is a reason we have such talented actors in our midst. No wonder America want to steal them from us.

............excited about this film! Dont know a huge amount about the story but the British cast looks awesome! I was already excited even before id seen the trailer but this has just confirmed what I had already hoped............ this is gonna be amazing! Hardy, Strong, Oldman, Firth, Cumberbatch! Cant wait!
